Abstract
Chemical burns are prevalent and may inflict considerable physical, psychological, social, and economic burdens. Chemical burns can be life-threatening and lead to significant aesthetic and functional outcomes, representing 30% of all burn-related fatalities. Chemical burns result from corrosive substances (acids and alkalis) that cause extensive damage to tissues. Chemical burns still present various challenges for clinicians treating such cases. Feracrylum, a soluble mix of partial ferrous salts (II and III) of polyacrylic acid, is classified as a chemical hemostatic agent and an antimicrobial substance. Its molecular weight falls between 500,000 and 800,000 Daltons, which hinders systemic absorption and avoids adverse effects on the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, cardiovascular system, or hemostatic systems. Feracrylum possesses antibacterial characteristics, reducing the likelihood of wound infections.
